Neither the suspect in the shooting, Adam Lanza, or his mother, Nancy Lanza, was included. It has been reported that Adam Lanza shot his mother at home Friday. The autopsies on the Lanzas had not been completed by Saturday evening.

Paige - the police actually confirmed that the assault rifle with multiple high velocity ammo arounds WAS used to kill everyone inside the school.

HUNDREDS of bullets were fired. That kind of weapon is not used for hunting nor is it necessary for self defense. Those that feel they need to arm themselves as a militia in order to protect from government tyranny should move to a country in which they feel safer and more comfortable!

Your trusted, reliable media is owned and operated by the same big banks that control our government. We live in a controlledenvironment, where corporate, governmental, and media interests coalesce in favor of the elites that pull the strings. It is in their best interests that we become disarmed.

The more I read about the details of this story, the less they make sense. 100 rounds were fired by two pistols? In under 15 minutes? This kids must have been a pro to walk around shooting and reloading without hesitation. Not buying it in my opinion. Then I saw videos and heard police scanner recordings of the cops arresting TWO other suspects that were fleeing the scene. We never heard about those guys, did we? Both dressed in camo fatigues and running through the woods behind the school. Add the fact that this kid was autistic, and all of this does not seem likely - sort of far fetched.

Although a shooting like this (coupled with Aurora, the Sikh temple, and countless others where two gunmen were accounted for in eyewitness reports yet only one was documented) would certainly do a whole lot to stir up the conversation about gun control.

Correction:
Newtown, tragedy, not necessarily pro gun control, just doesn't want gun shows on government property or the selling or Nazi memorabilia but is sorta kinda ok with it all just needs to say something about it to be seen and heard. Feiner, Feiner, Feiner.

To Tim T: All I have read here is you calling other people names.They have no right to an opinion unless it mirrors yours.I can feel your anger through the computer and it isn't just about guns.I will pray for you and hope you stop being a bully on here......just my opinion.

Tim, we need the 2nd amendment. Go break into my home, and I'll show you how useful the 2nd amendment is. I promise I won't call 911, not until you fully understand the usefulness of the 2nd amendment.

Yes, I'm unstable, if that means I'd put a big hole in your head if you break into my home at 2am in the morning. I don't want to be 'stable' if that means I won't use a deadly weapon on you when you break into my home at 2am to rape and kill my family and take my belongings.

This comments section under a listing of the victims seems an inappropriate place to vent about gun control, 2nd amendment issues, etc. If anything, people might want to express their sorrow and condolences in this section. There are plenty of other stories about yesterday's tragedy to express your views, no matter what side you're on.

May we all pray for these victims and all the lives lost...even the shooter, Adam.

This is not about gun violence. This is not about making our schools, movie theaters, malls or any public place into a fortress. This is about mental health. We need to remove the stigma of the mentally ill and get people help when they're "a little strange".

Whenever these spree killers/mass murderers are done, someone ALWAYS remembers a strange occurrence and weird behaviors. Why? Because we KNOW when someone amongst us is sick and we ignore the fact that things can and will happen when you're not in your right mind! Most mentally ill people are harmless to others but are suffering within themselves, so it be hooves us to help! If they're suffering inside, it's humanitarian to provide help. If they're suffering and will hurt others, it's better for us to help early and avoid this type of act. Adam was only 20 years old, just finishing his own childhood. I'm sure his wealthy parents didn't want to acknowledge his issues and truly get him help that would've spared 28 lives. I'm sure they tried to just handle it on their own.

While I'm not an advocate for or against guns, I can see this clearly.
Is about mental health!! Lets put more government funding into mental health programs and PREVENTION than guns or school security guards

It's about Gun Violence for you, that's obvious. It wasn't for the killer. It was about doing something dreadful for whatever reason...within his MIND. He could've used a bomb, or other method of hurting people. He wanted to hurt children. That's the bottom line and until we improve humanity and assist those that have these thoughts and urges, this will continue. Weapon control is only a distraction and sadly, a speed bump in stopping the violence.

Tim T, Clearly you're passionate about this gun thing. Maybe you can use some of that passion to pray for these lost lives. Try to be less insulting in your argument, maybe others will listen instead of debate. 28 people are dead and gone, no need to be angry now. Hopefully you will find some peace in a vigil or something for the families.

No, he said "essential liberty" and today's society is not the same as it was in Franklin's time. What might have been right in those days is not necessarily right today. Gun control (which is NOT the same as taking guns away from everyone) is hardly about essential liberty.

In May of 1927, a large bomb went off in the north wing of the school in Bath, Michigan. 45 people died, 38 of them were children. If the second bomb had gone off, there would have been more casualities. You can read about that here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster

In September of 1959, a man took his son to school in Houston, Texas. He was not able to register the child due to a lack of a birth certificate and other documents. He detonated a home made bomb in his suitcase, killing himself, his son, two other students and two other adults.

In the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995, 19 children died. There was a daycare center in the building.

The Bath, Michigan bombing and the Oklahoma City bombing both had more victims than Columbine. Bath, Michigan remains the most deadliest school fatality in our history.

Pagie
I would expect a wacko reply from a Republican like yourself....Clearly you are not very bright and a brainwashed wacko puppet of the wacko Republican party.
You really are digging deep in a lame attempt to justify your wacko views 1927 and 1959 man is that the best you can do.
REPEAL THE SECOND AMENDMENT AND DO IT TODAY.

You know what, Timmy? I don't ask what political party people belong to. But that's all you think about. And are you really so very callous that the death of 38 children is nothing to you regardless of when it took place? I suppose you don't believe that the Holocaust took place either. How sad, how very, very sad that the loss of human life, no matter when means nothing to you.
